But now there are others. Peter Gammons says (h/t MLBTradeRumors) the Rangers are interested, and that the Red Sox are sending "everyone" to the Dominican Republic to check him out. Gammons also says "dozens" of teams have contacted his agent. Dozens. Twenty-four.

This is not Sidd Finch. This dude is real -- very real. He's 26 years old with a 37-inch vertical and a 6.35 time in the 60-yard dash, ungodly power and the focus of about two dozen Major League teams that have been in constant contact with his agent, Adam Katz, for weeks.

A name you're going to hear a lot in the next couple months is Yoennis Cespedes. Another name you'll hear a lot is Yoenis Cespedes, because apparently there's no consensus on how to spell the name of the latest Cuban defector, a power-hitting center fielder who Kevin Goldstein called the best Cuban in a generation. You will probably not be hearing that name linked to the Angels:

The Angels don't need an outfielder, what with all the Vernon Wells and Mike Trout and other people of varying skill levels between those two. As for the teams that matter to the Angels, only the A's are listed. The A's reportedly had the second-highest bid for Aroldis Chapman two years ago, so maybe that's relevant. Also, remember when Peter Gammons guessed that the Angels would get Chapman? These offseasons all just run together now.
